Pet owner, caregiver, and physicist

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets of my own since I was 6. Most importantly, I have 3 years of experience caring for pets in and out of the home in New York City. I’m comfortable cleaning up messes, giving baths, medicine, and ensuring that your pet feels loved and not lonely.

Marvin is a wonderful dog sitter, he is kind and did an amazing job with our pups. He is very on top of caring for our pups and we felt very secure with him in our house.

Marvin cared for my young cat for about 2 weeks. He is a small, shy shorthair. Overall, what I would highlight about Marvin is his constant communication, ability to get along with my pet within minutes of meeting him. I’d highly recommend Marvin for a night out, as well as longer duration. He is a college student who has big goals, and as such, majority of his time is spent with books and readings. This makes for a perfect pairing for those looking for someone who can be at-home for several hours during the day.

I ensure the safety of your pet by setting clear rules for care with you before you depart. I want to understand how you want your pet to interact with me and others. That starts by establishing clear communication. You will be able to reach me at any time, via call or text (or other convenient platforms), and receive constant updates about your fur ball.

Information Marvin L. would like to know about your pet

Please communicate all special needs with me in advance, so that I can prepare accordingly. I’m eager to work hard to make sure all of your pets have a fun, safe experience.

A typical day

I’ll spend lots of time with your dog getting to know them first. Once we have established solid trust of our own, I like to introduce games, cuddles, and more. I love to walk to parks, and stopping at a spot with a nice view is not uncommon.

Availability

I’m currently busy weekdays morning-afternoon. I’m most intersted in weekend sitting, or afternoon walking. Pet sitting is an opportunity for me to spend time with new pets (which I love) while also continuing my studies as an aspiring scientist. If I pet sit at your home, it would not be unlikely that a textbook would come along with me.
